韩国称北韩的铀浓缩计划“令人担忧”。
韩国外交部长柳明桓星期一在首尔说，联合国可能会讨论如何处理北韩的铀问题，但他并没有多做说明。
北韩上个月宣布，其铀加工已经进入最后阶段，这将为北韩提供除了以钸为基础制造核子弹之外第二种制造核武器的方法。
北韩先前已经表示，如果能和美国进行一对一会谈，北韩就准备重回有关其核武计划的国际谈判。
韩国外交部长对于北韩的动机抱持怀疑的态度。他说，没有任何实质理由让人相信北韩姿态放软代表北韩的立场出现根本性的改变。
美国和韩国的国防部长星期四将在首尔讨论北韩的核威胁。
South Korea is calling North Korea’s uranium enrichment program “worrisome.”
Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan said in Seoul Monday the United Nations might discuss how to handle the uranium issue. He did not elaborate.
North Korea announced last month it has entered the final stage of enriching uranium. That would give Pyongyang a second way to make nuclear bombs, in addition to its plutonium-based program.
North Korea has signaled it is ready to return to international talks on its nuclear weapons program, if it gets to talk one-on-one with the United States.
South Korea’s foreign minister expressed skepticism about North Korea’s motives. He said there are no real grounds to believe the softening stance indicates a fundamental change in Pyongyang’s position.
The U.S. and South Korean defense chiefs will discuss Pyongyang’s nuclear threat in Seoul Thursday.
